It wasn’t the million-plus people who flooded the Giants’ victory parade route. It wasn’t the fact that thousands of folks flew in to be here, or even that Gov. Schwarzenegger knows about “The Machine.”

It’s the fact that I’m sitting here at 8 p.m. in the press box at AT&T Park, inside a totally dark stadium, having just filed my two stories for today. And still, nonstop, I hear blaring horns, constant chants of “Let’s Go Giants” and one persistent guy who keeps yelling “Eff Yeah!”

The parade was over six hours ago. The last speech was made shortly after that. The ballpark is silent, locked down. Nothing to see here till FanFest.

And yet it sounds like thousands of revelers remain converged on the ballpark, probably not sure why they’re still here — but absolutely positive they don’t want to be anyplace else.

I already knew this season was magical. I didn’t realize until this moment that it was so integral.

Celebrate, Giants fans. Keep on celebrating.

Are there two more powerful people in the State of California than Gov. Schwarzenegger and President Obama?

There probably isn’t much these two men could agree on. But it turns out they share one thing: A mutual fascination with Brian Wilson’s beard.

During his speech at Wednesday’s rally, Gov. Schwarzenegger said, “Now every baseball team in the world will fear the beard.” And President Obama asked Manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean if Wilson’s beard had magical powers when he spoke to them on a conference call Tuesday.

“I thought I was the only machine, the Terminator,” Schwarzenegger said. “But I hear there is a machine on this team. Congratulations to the machine, also.”
—
Someone spotted the Machine along the parade route. Be warned, you can’t unsee this.

—
In case you were wondering, and I know you were…

Tim Lincecum said he didn’t vote Tuesday. But I think we all can guess where he would’ve stood on Prop 19.

Lincecum also said that yes, he’s seen this viral video, which is most DEFINITELY NOT safe for work. And he loves it.

—
About the only thing missing from Wednesday’s parade and rally was a good ol’ F-bomb from Lincecum on a live broadcast. He managed to hold back despite hundreds of signs that simply read (spelling adjusted) “Eff yeah!”

I told him I took note of his restraint.

“Yeah, I made a conscious effort,” Lincecum said, smiling. “It was hard.”

—
Jeremy Affeldt remarked on the sights. He also remarked on the smells.

“There was some of that Prop 19 or whatever,” Affeldt said. “They had that working.”

—
I understand there is a movement building to get Wilson to host “Saturday Night Live.” Let’s just make sure he doesn’t go all Joaquin Phoenix on his “Tonight Show” appearance tomorrow, OK?

—
Freddy Sanchez shared a nice anecdote during his turn at the mic. He said he was moping over his checkered health and performance while watching video one day when GM Brian Sabean paid him a brief visit.

“He said, `Freddy, why are you so upset? The season isn’t over yet,’” Sanchez said. “That picked me up.”

Sabean took a lot of grief when he traded for Sanchez, and then took some more when he signed the second baseman to an extension only to have him go down with secret shoulder surgery in December that forced him to start this season on the DL.

But Sabean always stuck by Sanchez, saying he had faith that his talent would make a difference. And whether it was his four-hit performance in Game 1 of the World Series or his acrobatic defense in Texas, he certainly proved his value as a big-time player.

That’s good, because as Giants fans learned today, he had to overcome a significant impediment.

“As you all know, I grew up a Dodger fan,” said Sanchez, inciting boos. “But right now and forever it’s all about the San Francisco Giants and our World Series, baby!”

—
You’re going to hear a lot of trade rumors involving Aaron Rowand this winter, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants are willing to take a salary hit to move him. Rowand was a total professional while accepting a backseat role this season, but he might be less inclined to tolerate another season if he knows he’s entering it as a No.5 outfielder.

I don’t imagine you’ll hear many trade rumors involving Barry Zito, though. GM Brian Sabean said he wouldn’t actively look to shop Zito. He plans for the left-hander to be a valuable part in next year’s rotation.

The Giants cut Zito from all three playoff rosters, and even though he handled it with class, I wondered if that decision would poison his relationship with the team. Zito acknowledged he couldn’t fully embrace the Giants’ NLDS clincher over the Braves or the NLCS triumph over the Phillies.

“It was tough,” he said. “We’re celebrating in the first two rounds and … I just felt like I wasn’t on the field with the guys. I wasn’t on the front lines. It’s hard to be happy in your heart. But once the World Series came, it was much easier to be happy. Your personal situation aside, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. To look back and say that I couldn’t enjoy it because I was seeing it through a foggy lens — that’s something I couldn’t swallow.”

So now it’s on to next year. And we asked if this playoff omission would linger. Zito didn’t quite understand the question, so I phrased it another way: Why pitch your butt off for 33 starts next year if you know there’s a chance you’ll just be pushed to the side in October?

“No, no, I never saw it that way at all,” Zito said. “I consider myself blue collar, not white collar. It’s not about what’s owed to me. This game gives you what you put into it. I plan to put my heart and soul into it. I’ll give myself 10 days.”

Why such a short break?

“It’s hard to take time off,” he said. “I’ve got things I didn’t accomplish. To sit back and bask in this … it’s something I can’t do.”

In the notebook, I mention that Lincecum also plans to start training for next season in roughly three weeks. He plans to be much more diligent in his conditioning work. He seems more driven than ever.

—
Of all the things Dave Righetti could’ve worn to the parade, he chose an orange “Fear the Beard” T-shirt. You’ve gotta love that.

—
Finally, here’s a photo from the good folks at Papi, showing Aubrey Huff and his proud Rally Thong.

Here’s what I love most about this picture: It’s clearly visible that Huff used a marker to put his uniform number on the tag. Good thing. Wouldn’t want Murph to get it mixed up with all the other red rally thongs in the laundry.

Hope you get some vacation, Baggs. Have a great offseason.

The F-Ya video was new to me…. and wow… just WOW!!! This blows Ashkon out of the water!

GO GIANTS!

Baggs, you are a dream come true for a native San Franciscan and fellow Wildcat, who has been relegated temporarily to Phoenix. Thanks for the excellent reporting, and all the not safe for the paper details shared here. See you at Spring Training!

Snewman

The F-Ya video was new to me…. and wow… just WOW!!! This blows Ashkon out of the water!

PS – I second, and third, and fourth everyone’s comments on here Baggs: a million thank yous for all the amazing work you have provided for your readers. We didn’t just read about our team, you honestly made us feel like we were there, riding this amazing adventure with our favorite players as if we were IN the Clubhouse. BRAVO!

Now take some time off and throw back a cocktail with a mini umbrella!

Expat

The 2010 Giants were wildly entertaining virtually every day for 7 full months. With TV, radio, the Merc and Baggs it was all free. I say it was a crowning achievement of our modern, American civilization. Bravo!

Mike Souza

I am ashamed to admit that I was raised by a family full of A’s fans. I am sure glad I overcame that dysfunctional upbringing to faithfully bleed orange & black. 😉 SFGIANTS4LIFE!!!!!!!!! I am still filled with pure joy that words can’t properly express. I am eternally grateful to Brian Sabean, Bruce Bochy, the 2010 G-MEN players & the entire GIANTS organazation for fulfilling all of our lifelong dreams as fans. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING HOME THAT WORLD SERIES TITLE!

Bravo, Bravo..Thanks Baggs…after living in the Bay Area my whole life, now living in the Great Northwest, I have really enjoyed and looked forward to your report every night..thanks for bringing the Giants to Seattle my friend! Great Year, and let me say it again…San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions…F… Yeah!!

This blog was delicious. Ridiculously delicious. Thank you Giants! Thank you Baggs! This season was an amazing rollercoaster ride with a very happy ending.
I can hardly wait for Spring training…

The 13th Man

Great work as usual Baggs, and for those who didn’t see it, a fan gave Baggs a shoutout on a sign thanking him along with other giants notables.

i’ve got a new post on why the giants are more like the 85 chicago bears and the 96 yankees than a “band of misfits and castoffs” http://wp.me/pDoTW-m1

Great stuff Baggs. Will be looking forward to some off-season updates…

BTW, no way there were a million people there. if there were a million people, they would have been stretched up and down the cross-streets, not 10 deep at the curb. more like 100-150,000. BART said they had 75k more passengers.

Baggs – you are the Kruk and Kuip of the online world….an integral part of the fan experience for the 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION GIANTS. Thanks for all your hard work, and for churning out the inside notes and info that we could never get anywhere else…..Enjoy the offseason, and we look forward to your insight for the World Series title defense in 2011…..

Mark

I will sincerely miss reading your posts every day, Baggs. Your blog was a permanent tab open on my browser throughout the season, and I do not plan on removing it, in hope of winter entries. Thank you for a season filled with great blog entries, and next year’s daily entries will be eagerly awaited upon!

Mavo

A truly magical year Baggs … a tip of the cap for a great job! Your postings on this blog and your writing in the paper made this season so much more enjoyable for me. I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 20 years. But, I have been fighting a serious illness this past year and was not able to make it out to the ballpark until I went for the postseason games in a wheelchair.

This magical season has so much meaning for this die-hard Giants fan! I’ve been a loyal Giants fan since 1958 when I saw my first game at Seals Stadium as a six year old with my Grandfather and Father. It was LOVE at first sight! So it has been the full 53 seasons of torture for this fan. I was beginning to think I’d never live to witness MY Giants winning this precious first World Championship! I have not had a dry eye for two and a half days now! As a former jock myself I am not used to being so emotional … but this was just TOO MUCH!! I wish I could have been out there with everybody else in the streets and in the saloons celebrating this magical victory for our Giants!! But, I just had to let you know that your hard work and excellent writing made my experience this year so much more enjoyable. Thanks and have a great off-season!!

One last time: San Francisco Giants – 2010 World Champions!!!

Wupuck

God forbid Murph accidentally throws the red rally thong into the laundry and makes all the Giants Jerseys pink…

It’s like the soldier missing a leg who keeps feeling phantom pain down there and reachin for the missing limb…. the spirit of the 2010 season will forever be embedded in ATT Park. It’s been a wild, magical, improbable ride!

Thank you, Baggs! enjoy your time off too and come back strong in 2011….

jerseygiant

Watched the parade with my son on MLB network. Dinner celebration tonight with my family and 84 year old aunt Hilda, who has waited and hoped longer than me or most of us. Now, its time to order some
championship stuff. Looking forward to the raising of that 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS flag at the home opener! Bless us all! GO, GIANTS!

Michael Harris

My granddaughter was born the day the Giants beat San Diego for the Western Division. I knew then that there would be a magical ride.

I’ve read your post every day… and you are great.

Thank you…and Go Giants!!!!!

Can’t wait for 2011, when I get to take her to her first ballgame!!

DDM

Hey Baggs–

Now it’s time for your Cubbies to get one.

Thanks Baggs. I love reading your blog every morning. Go Giants!!!

Thanks again Mr. Baggarly for a job well done, from start to finish.

Now if I can just find a rally thong for the Cal Bears.

Row Jimmy

Baggs, you are quite simply THE BEST. Now get some rest.

CB

Thanks Baggs for your wonderful insights and excellent coverage on the Giants all season. I am looking forward to the off-season and see some of your stories on the winter coverage and free-agent targets, etc. I hope the 1st one we here is that we sign Huff Daddy to a multi-year deal (2 years with an option) and then that we re-sign Juan Uribe to a one-year deal with a mutual option. And decline the option on Renteria and say our goodbyes to him, that he will be forever inducted into the Giants History Books and embed his imprints and heroics into our hearts forever. Go San Francisco Giants- 2010 World Series Champions. We are #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Mavo (appx #16):

Hang in there, buddy. We will be lifting up prayers and good thoughts for you. Keep us posted on your health status. We have enjoyed your posts this year, and look forward to your spring 2011 posts.

Baggs, I’m thankful for this blog not only because of your fine work, but also for being able to interact with other passionate, insightful, pragmatic and knowledgeable Giants fans. In an ideal world, we could all be sitting at a sports bar, enjoying a burger and a beer and talking about the Giants. Next best thing is this blog!

Thanks to DProf, The Wisdom Cow, Long Suffering Giants Fan, Obsessive Complusive Giants, AVWH, just to name a few. Our interaction here is a lot like the baseball season: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. There are good days and bad. There are highs and lows, but keep an even keel and a steady course and reach the prize at the end, and that’s exactly what we did.

One more time:
Our San Francisco Giants, 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!

cadan

between the video and the machine pic this blog was epic!

Greg

Great season—2011 there will be about 10 of those guys who won’t be there–thats the business.

GoPablo

Mavo said it best. Mr. Baggerly, you are truly a gift to us diehard fans. It has come to the point where the game story is irrelevant for us, because we already know all those details and angles. I could care less what gets printed in the paper. Extrabaggs gives us something we can’t get anywhere else, but its not just about details and tidbits that are hard to come by, its about writing that astounds me on a daily basis with its quality and its depth. Bravo!!

Charlie

The Giants OWN this region. So how about a magnanimous gesture to the A’s: give them the okay to build a stadium in San Jose in exchange for taking Zito and his contract. Homecoming for Barry, stadium for the A’s, $ for the Giants to sign Crawford. Win, win, win…

bandwagon

This blog enhanced what was the most enjoyable season in Giants history. Can’t wait to read it again next year!

Hostility54

Relax, this is just a blog and section of this website to make innocent remarks and comments. Don’t take this so seriously? Obviously most of these people on here are very frustrates that the Oakland A’s have 4 world series titles as you just won your first.

Your emotions are getting the best of you. What’s with all this bashing of the A’s? Where is all this coming from? I understand that you got punked back in 89′ as they rocked your world, but please be happy with your single championship. The fans of major league baseball do recognize your success despite being the 2nd worst rated world series in baseball history, which is pretty pathetic if you ask the experts.

Instead of reacting to every comment and being paranoid, I would suggest you make general comments and state your own opinions. I think you fans are to reactionary and emotional. They have medication for this mental disorder. Go to your local physician or doctor so he/she can prescribe you pills or drugs that might subdue the 54 years of anger

2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still can’t believe this……..

Thank you baggs for keeping us entertained and thank you giants for a lifetime dream come true. Get some vacation and lets go out and cheer them , come spring..

Great job this year Baggs, looking forward to your coverage of the Free Agents signings, winter meetings and then spring training to get us ready for 2011.

P.S. If you ever need some “Prop 19” let me know.

Awesome job, Baggs. thanks for the excellent free content.

Now step away from the blog, take a short, well-deserved break, and get to work on a book about this tremendous season. Please.

Bobby Bonilla

I deeply regret the anger that I have expressed toward the negative blogger that appears to be the same guy or it just might be my poor pathetic life that I live. Yes, I love my giants and I need to have the last word so I continue to overreact to random blogs on this site.

You see, my life is all about the Giants and this is all that I have in my poor life. I have sought a counselor that can help me with my deep seeded mental issues. I love Buster Posey!!!! My entire life depends on him. I need to feel good about myself so I try to talk smack about people on the blog to mask my pain. I need some help!!!!!!

Mike Souza

Here is a message to the A’s fan(s) trolling this site. Your 1989 victory is a joke because half your team was on roids. While the GIANTS had players in later years who roided it up too, that team was 100% clean. The A’s are a pathetic organazation. There are more people at a midweek Little League game than there is at an A’s game on a Saturday night. Oakland has one of the worst GM’s in baseball who gained his glory off of his scouting department. Nelson Cruz, Carlos Pena, Carlos Gonzalez all gone for nothing to show for it. And that Ben Sheets signing was awesome too. GIANTS4LIFE!!!!!!!!

Mike Souza

@Comment-48-Real Bobby Bonilla- The best part about all my friends & family who were A’s fans talking smack about how they swept us in 1989 was watching them get swept the very next year. HaHaHaHaHaHa. Don’t trip on these A’sholes bro…as you said so well, the GIANTS got the last word on Monday night. SF GIANTS = WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! I keep watching the ending of the game on my DVR & yelling as if it is live TV while tearing up. THANK YOU 2010 G-MEN FOR GIVING ALL OF US FANS THIS EUPHORIA & BLISSFUL JOY!! =)

GIANTS ARE COOL

Bobby Bonilla Jr.

Ok-

Cut the crap people and act like normal citizens. Obviously, there are a couple of people here that are trying to deny any sort of realistic statements about the Giants. Nobody even mentioned other teams. These are statements about the Giants. Why are people so angry? You won; be happy. Obviously you are very paranoid and don’t want people to spell out what will happen to your team after this fluke season. We understand; relax and don’t overreact. I perfectly understand that nobody even cared about the Giants until the playoffs. This is called being a bandwagon fan and trying to root for a team just so you can have an excuse to celebrate. This is typical when you are traders. It’s perfectly within your right to spew hate at fans that you suppose are rooting for other teams. Why be so defensive? Life moves on and so will your players to other teams. This is not a positive or negative commentary on those teams….so please there is no need to overreact. Your lives have been shattered by the other bay area team across the bay. There’s no need to call them losers especially when the whipped you in 89′. But, I digress because I am not even a baseball fan of any particular team. I just watch occasionally and try to give the best analysis that one can give. Maybe those garlic fries at att park are poisoning your minds. Stop being so bitter and divisive. Your life will move forward after sip the coolaide parade. There are more issues at stake in sf anyhow. Try and get on with your lives, there is a future out there for you fans and it rests in NNNNeeeew YOrk. sip on that angry fans

Native SF

Have a nice winter back there, Jr.

Mike Souza

A’s fans talking about a victory over us that hapened 21 years ago as we celebrate our beloved team’s triumph is truly pathetic. 4 games to 1 victory in the World Series is now a fluke? HaHaHaHa. Gotta luv haters.

DUMP SABEAN

sabean better stop wasting this pitching staff and get a bat in the offseason.

realbonilla

that is a good station. it’s very informative to the public and yes you are ignorant when you talk about A’s fans. Don’t assume people are A’s fans. What if we aren’t fans at all.

you really must not like the way you are being manhandled on these posts. just let people talk without the negative comments.

meyekvkare

We have gotten in the heads of a few giants fans.
They are sitting by the computer refreshing the button to see if they can negate free speech postings about this site. This is a fun blog and opinions are free flowing. Don’t be childish and curse about this site. Giant’s fans should be happy. Only the poor language used by a few that want to deny others from their opinions will continually get frustrated as the keep hitting the refresh button to see if the can negate another posters comments that make comments about the Giant’s team. I actually have a proposed lineup next year.

1) Torres

2) Sanchez

3) Posey

4) Pete Rose

5) Willie Mays

6) Barry Bonds

7) Cal Ripken

8) Willie McCovey

9) Pitcher’s spot

I couldn’t come up with the rest of the lineup after Posey because it won’t be much of a lineup…………..bring it!!!!!!

MGK

I can imagine. Life can be frustrating for A’s fans. A creaky old stadium, no fanbase, no marquee players, no radio station. Add a Giants World Championship, life can be miserable and it shows up in some of the posts here. From the 2010 Championship run, it’s pretty clear this is completely Giants Territory (East bay included). A’s better try their luck and existence in Sacramento or Vegas. Go GIANTS!

From someone that used to cut classes to head to the “stick” in the mid-60″s to enjoy pregame batting practice from the right field bleachers, thank you very much. I have since moved to Texas, but this season was even more enjoyable because of your blog. I was glad that the Gents won everything, but really hated to see the season end.

Thanks again for connecting us to the team thru your experiences. Enjoy your off-season.

A’sfan

Darn it>>>
you guys are so in my face and correct about the radio station. I can’t locate the station either. As a matter of fact, I haven’t found any time to listen to the A’s on the radio as there is much more going on in life. In fact knbr is the perfect station and the commentary is just much more insightful…….the funny thing is…….who cares>>

I mean get a life, if that’s all you can brag about then go bang your head on the wall. I did find alot of people bashing edgar renteria on knbr, including the hosts of those talk shows. This isn’t any A’s fan bashing the local gigantes….we are talking giants fans bashing giant players on knbr….this is not made up ………so for those that wanna talk smack about the A’s or any other team….let’s focus on the lack of faith your fans have for your own team as you slammed them virtually the entire season….and yes……the hundreds of thousands that showed up for the parade….they are not loyal….they just wanted a reason to yell, be obnoxious and cut class/work……thank you for your time and effort trying to understand this concept……..next year it will all come back and hit you in the face as you suffer for year 1 of another 54 year drought…

sincerely,
common sense

Bob Lurie

New Post by Baggs just in case you all are not getting your update emails:

Ha, you said that is a good station KTRB 860 on the dial? Turn it on at 6pm every night…Except for Ken Dito at 9 to 10am and Rick Tittle from 9 to noon and ‘The Mouth’ and the ex-49er receiver from noon to 3pm, everything else is tape delayed ala Ron Barr. KTRB is bankrupt and in receivership. Not negative just the facts ma’am aka realbonilla. Read MGK @ around box #63. Do you even understand what he is saying?

Dave Daveofferson

Thanks, Baggs. I can’t wait for next year!

Long Suffering Giants Fan

If Rowand doesn’t want to be a 5th outfielder for the Giants and would rather play somewhere else maybe he should renegotiate his contract.

I can’t believe someone complained that Sabean should stop wasting the pitching staff and get a bat. I hope that’s a joke. If not, how did he waste the staff if they won it all? Leave Sabean alone already. He had one of the greatest years a GM can possibly have.

Leonard Bonilla

Barry Zito is a good guy in every way. It would be great if he could add to this great pitching staff. I thought he began well this season then he just reverted to the bad Barry. There has to be a reason for this. If Barry could finish the season one or two games over 500 it would add to this teams great pitching.

Sabean has to bolster this offense they can’t keep playing one run games and expect to win the west again. Everyone will be gunning for them, especially the Padres. I don’t think Sandoval’s weight was the main reason he wasn’t hitting. Babe Ruth hit and was overweight most of his carreer. Its hand eye coordination and I think the Giants messed with that in some fasion. They discovered he had an astigmatisim and made him try galsses and contacts, plus wortking on his diet. All that was too much of a distraction for him. I do not, however, think they should rely on him. They need to find a legit slugger.

DCT

My wife drove 575 miles from Eugene, OR to celebrate with our beloved Giants. I waited 54 years for this and wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Thank you 2010 Giants for a season I will treasure for the rest of my life!

Nick

This season was summed up as torture. But the torture is over. I say nay to this. The torture was only the beginning. Next season may also be torture. Affeldt may be in the rotation. My prediction for now: Affeldt will start in the bullpen but sometime through the season, someone’s gotta give.

Posey- He’s going to be a one hell of a player next year.
Huff – Keep the Rally Thong in SF! WE LOVE THIS GUY!
Freddy Sanchez – if he stays healthy, he will do great things.
Sandoval – If he can lose weight then he can play, otherwise he may be reporting to Fresno.
Uribe – U! RIBE! WHO?? URIBE!! Someone said it was whoribe, I just about levelled him.
Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner – nothing to worry about, these guys are phenominal.

Jonathan Sanchez and Zito will be the Question Marks in the rotation. The question is, can Zito tap back into his success or will he pitch a repeat? Sanchez – He’s a good guy and all, but he didn’t show it that much in the post season. He’s been there now, so will he pitch like he did to clinch the NL West or will he pitch like he did against the Phillies?

I want to hear what you think. And yes, slam me all you want, this is only my opinion. Let’s hear them.

“Ssory Doc”

@ Nick says: November 8th, 2010 at 11:59 am

Nick, Affeldt will not be converted to a started. Most of the guys presently in the bullpen were young starters in their first pro experience either in Short-Season – A ball – AA ball or Triple A. Brian Wilson started out as a starter but by his own admission he said he was horrible.
I will treat you to a dinner of your choice or any amount of $ if he becomes a starter in 2011. There was talk of Runzler trying it though.
Posey! He was one of hell of a player THIS year. J-Sanchez will always have people wanting him traded but Sabeans biggest trades throughout the last two years were also the one(s) he DID NOT make. (Alex Rios for Lincecum and Jonny Sanchez for __________ fill in the name). If Zito is to be moved the Giants will have to shell out most of the money in order for another team to be interested. (Yankees?)
